There is probably no branch of agrieulture in what Canada has made more progress in recent yeats than &Laying" An opportunity will be af- forded next year to let the world know how far this Is the case, for in the summer is to be teal at Chicago, Ia., the Seventh International Dairy Con- gress, at whica there will be present officially appointed representatives from thirty to fifty different -countries. At the sixth congress'hold at Berne, Switzeriande in 1914, Mr. .J. A. Rud- dick, Dominion Dairy and Cold Stor- age Commissioner, was Canada's rep- resentative, among a total of 800 dele- gates reptesenting tveenty-tine coun- tries Or states. The congresses axe organized under the auspices of the International Dairy Fecleratien, of whioh any person interested in dairy- ing conoration or ass.ociation can be- come a member on payment of the annual fee, which at present is twenty franas. Papers are read at the con- gresses and the reports are published in English, French and two other languages. Already /dn. Ruddick is engaged, by authority of the Do:nation Minister of Apiculture, in preparing for Canada's eepresentation at net year's congress i Chicago, end a com- mittee is being formed on which the heads of the dairy branch in every province wil'l be invited to act. Thas committee will ;arrange for the ques- tione.to be diecusied and the papers to be read as far ae Canada is con- cerned. A pamphlet will else be pre- pared and distributed &mama the dele- gat,es descriptive of the dairy inetustly in this tomitry. It is further proposed to establish in connection with the congress to buaeau of information at Which facts will 11. set forth regarding not only dairying in Canada, but agri- culture generally and the eneanifac- tuns and resources of the country. In addition, leaflets will be circulated suggesting itineraries for delegates who might like to visit Canada be- fore renaming .home. THE SCHOOL ON THE' FARM There Is an item of (tenger in bang- ing otto old tools toe ;mug. It was Ina se long ago that the 'boys 021 wee Oneario lam revolted agelese the son- iiinued use oa me:horse cultivators when the neiglaboes neve getting' doable and greater lierviee fret: two and three-bese implements. There is a, point where the tamer, like every °thee eieer ote machinery, me t0 long- er efford to get on with tin old tools aceause of the handleap 15 gives him in production costs. The boys who °Plumed the eat -mantled use of the ono-. horse eultivatere were right in their oontention. Fortunately the lather complied, and in doing this he not Only saaed his bop to the fent, but this very act put new :spirit into the whole family. Prom then on Tether took the boys into conferenee when he walled to decide matters regarding the farm business. ' And two is oree of tlee great advan- tages of the farm for the family with ohildren. The fainnera business, un- like the lenniness of the caty man, is eloanlY tied tip with the hoene life and every member of the family is more or less inthnately acquainte,d with what Is going on. No educational in- stitution can creete better oonditiens Shan this tot inoulcating into the lives of the boys and girls those fundameneal prineipies Of business and ;good sense, proelding tan parents are awake te, the °noel:unity, and an the other hand, if the parenbe 000 found wanting there is no' place Where c,hilaten can ;be made to abhor the work of their fathers with greater netensaty., There, then, is a great op- portunity Aar' parents, but et carries respomeibility of equal magnitude. Summer Shelter for Hogs. Tlie praotice of keeping bleeding swine and arming litters enclosed in expensive h.og pens, more especially daring the :summer months, ha,s been almost entirely discontinued on the mom successful hog' raising farms. Outdo -or life bets been feend very mush more advantageous, but some sort of ohelter is necessary to •peotect ate hogs against inclement weather and the sunshine of anidsunianer. Various types eV small pene design- ated hog cabins have ,been kept 'under observation for several years on the Experimental Farne at Ottawa. These have included: (1) the A -shaped cabin; (2) the straightawalled -cabin with tight sides; (R) the straight - welled cabin, with (a) roof section hinged, (b) one side binged upwards, (o) roof section and both sides hinged so as to be hooked upwards, The loathe cabin (c) was found to be in- finitely supereor for the summer months because it affootla relatively cool shelter. Hogs that had access only to tight -sided cabins preferred to remain in the bright sunshine Tether than to me the shade that the house peovieled. The seetienal cabin with hinged sides ond tops can be made thoroughly adaptable for wilitee use by proper fastening down and battening the joints. Novel Selling Plan. An unique, although very success- ful plan of selling pure-bred stock has been worked out by Edwin alouston. He loads into a truck some of his good swine and drives to neighboring county towns, where he ;books orders for stock he has for sale. He guarantees that the -animals sold will be 1 ulSy as good as the samples in the truck, and. ehips C.O.D. This novel selling plan -has proven eo ate very successful and might well lee adopted by more swine breeders. A very considerable ameont on publicity is secured) 021 the trip besides the sales that are made. Raising Capons for Profit Once a year poultry -raisers rime She question of how to dispose of cockeeels to best advantage. If sold as broilers, they bring a fair price but weigh only a couple of pounds. If kept till fall, they weigh more, but Shen the broiler price cannot be ob- tained. Ca.ponizing is one practical answer to the question. Amending to the latest Goveenment reporbs the industry is growing rapid- ly year by year but the supply does not yet equal the demand. The best time to oaponize cockerele is when they are froin two to three months old, or when they weigh from one and one-belf to two pounds, The smaller breeds mature earliee than She larger ones, To get the make:elsin the right :Mane foe metallizing, it is necessary to .confine them in a dry cool place without food and water for -from 24 to 86 hours. Thirty-six hints is best for beginners. This is done to empty the intestines and leave them shrink so as to make the organs vielble rind easily aoceseible. As the 'organs to be removed ere located in the body cavity, very good light is atm essential, either bright daylight—prefeeably out' of doors—or electric light. Light prevents bungl- ing.

Warring Againk the Cut- worm. Dwring May and ,Tune remedies for. the various destructive *imam 01 cute worma are urgently requested by fanners, nuieket Revenges, fruit groweae. Many of `our common eut- worms peas the winter In a partialla grown concheion and in among as soon as young mailing plants appear ramie ground oe; when such plants as cab - lanes and cauliflowers are transplant- ed in the field, many are cut or eaten off neer the surface of the ground, or a little below it. In many instances She young plant will be found to haye been drawn partly into the ground. Not all cutworms, however, feed in this manner; some climb -up :fruit trees ea suet plants as cements, gooseberries., tomatoes., etc,, and feed upon the foliage or the fruit. In fact, when they are excessively abundant they will aback anything green and juie.y. In years of atundience some kinds, such as the Variegated out, W0021), the Spotted cutworm, and the Black Army cutwoam, asanne the Marching habit so characteristic 01 the true Army cutworm. The poisoned bran reeneela is the one which is now used' meet extene eively far the destruction of cutworms generally. This is macle by moisten. ing the bran with sweetened water and then dostneg in Paris peen in the proportion of hall a pound of Jamie green to fifty pound'sof bran. It le important that the bran be noticeably moistened (but nee made into a mesh or moistened too 'mach to prevent its - being crumbled through the fingers) so that when the poison is added, it will' adhere to practically every part- icle. Two gallons of water, in which half a pound of sugar has been die, volved, is sufficient to moisten fifty pounds of bran. The mixture should be applied thinly as soon as cutworm injury is noticed. Itis important, too, that the mixtuoe be mattered aftee sundown, so that it will be in the very best condition when the cut- worms come out to feed- at night. This material is eery attractive to them and when they crawl -about ht search of food they wild actually eat it in preference to the growing vegetation. If the mixture is put out during 'a warm day, iE soon bemmes dry and ie not, of coutse, ae attractive to the cutworms. In treating fields of hoed crops., such as 'beets, turnips, etc., a elinple method is, to have a sack filled with the bran, hong about the neck and by walking between two rows and using bath handa, the Mixture may -be scattered along the row on either side. When cutworms are so' numerous as to essanne the walleing habit, the poi- soned bran may be spread just ahead „ea their line of march.

Mark Your Pigs. In marking the pure-bred spring pigs use a pun -oh making a long ovel notch, as that kinil is more satisfae. tory than a V-shaped one, Any acci- dental tear is apt to be mistaken for a V-shaped notch, While the oval is unmistakable. Tags are not generally satisfactory for marking pigs, as they are difficult to read and arc easily tern out. The systein of notches is swift and certain. In marking young pigs the notches must be out of yea - portion to the size of the 0-017, for the pig's ear will grow, Nvhile the notches do not get. Itaeger. Thus when the animal is fall grown, noteltee that were plainly seen on the young pig^ are barely visible. The Welfare of the Home Providing a Motive. "I don't want to get up. Pen going to stay aibed this morning. I'm sick," came the grumpy call from the boy of the house. Neither opposition nor arginnent was offered by the wise mother. She ignered the remark and merely spoke over the beeister to her husband be- llow. "Did you say, Daddy, that those of the children who were ready on time could ride out to see the circus unload'?" Two ,bare feet slapped to the floor and a Ismailia boy in good health rna.cle a prompt appearance at breakfast. In another ease --"I ante to soli tickets," was the irritable reply to the mother's request. "Them are stamps, John, not tick- ets+. Every one you sell gives food for a day to a starving hittle Chinese boy." Visions of a .blaolc-queued laundry men who tad given John a nut arose in the boy's mind. "So it's saving Chinks.," was the boy's wording of his motive, and with Met he sold eight dollara worth of the three -cent stamps. The mother who can supply motives in place of aeguments finite a beannony in her home that generates peace, which in its turn is a stron.g factor in promoting good health. Constant ai•iction rea.cts upon the physical -con- dition of the members of the family. Many pleasures and jcas ore clue the chi -khan, yet 35is only right that they should share a simple way the Inn:done and resiponsibilities that go to make for comfort: in the home.; Wilma a mature mind -can vieion the' needs and outcome ef the week rea quired, a child can see only the irk- some teak to be accomplished and often must be provided with a motiee. At one time when a new garden plot was plowed many stones wore turned up. The father of the family left word in the morning for the chil- dren to toes out the stones after school that day. It 25115 easy work for a white, but soon the interest lagged. Suddenay the oldest bay had a happy thought. "Let's get till the stones we oat find and build a gate -poet. Father will fix the cement and help us when he gets home." The garden plot was eemaileci for every atone and a won. cierfully fine piece of work was Ac- complished there before the father re- turned. Many fine acts and homely nenemp- lis.hinents ere recognixed with honor -tor Boy Scouts and Girl Ounice wheal provide motives within their vision. However, the motive must be a right one, and not .of the kind one mother offered in holding up a twenty-five cent piece to calm leee boy in his fat of temper. It wee en easy way to earn money and the temper fits be- came frequent, 'That bit of silver might have accomplis-hed more if of. feed to the child of thet toneleney for every week or month 2512012 to temper wets allowed to show itself, In that way tale child would have leornea self-control of life-long value. Neither rules nor laws calf be fixed for the varied situations a mother fame, but if she can be equipped with a poitt of view from which to woik it will often meet a wide stretch of needs. To 'be able to offer a legiti- mate motive for action is one step to'w'ards happy home harmony. ..„.„ vi arc Bei &TS, 47d :,- What them *100 5000 Sono, you eat dot In 370017 5501 tlino at home you ean easily Master thoaeerets of selling that make _Stiirtot ot Success Saw Salesmen, Whatever your experience hes been—whatever 1 we'rg,',...", nearata ,„ , you meta doing now—whether or not you think you can sell— • just Answer this question: Aro 30511 ambitious to earn 71 0,030 a year I Then get in touch With iho rit once! 1 will prove to too lip tow ile, wiy.without cost or ebqgation that you en .onolly become a Star naan le neenamel. 5 von show you hew the Salesmanship Training and alionig, I. rot Einployment Surto° al' 60 N. a.
